I was referring to the dots setting. You can see reallllyyyyyy far away with the dot setting. The labels I concur don't show until closer range. I'd prefer not to use labels. Also the activity labels show very far away as well. Sorry should have been more clear considering I work for a software company and know how annoying it is to get partial requirements.

Check out the link yaan98 gave but check out the top of page 4 (post 3899168). I am trying to make those black dots harder to spot.

Interesting, I'm going to play around with that as I have some ideas. It will probably end in my crashing the game, but oh well. *Edit* I'll post in the other thread as to not derail, but it appears my simple experiment works.

I'm always happy to accept whatever priority the Devs assign to further enhancements.
That said, I do agree with the Claims points. Maybe, if it can be done without compromising WM's confirmation algorithm, just extend the list to include increasingly generic terms, such as 'C', 'Sopwith', 'Two-seater', 'Triplane', 'Albatros', 'HA', 'Unknown Type' etc. That way we can be true to the immersion and pick a generic term especially when new, previously unknown machines appear in the enemy's ranks.
Apologies if any of those are in there already, I haven't played enough to down anyone yet!
Oh that I was back in the dear old PBI. With no more Triplanes on me tail, nor tracer tracing by. And no more flames and clickerty-clack and no more blooming sky, And only a couple of feet to fall whenever I want to die.

One addition for a future version I'd like to see:
the ingame map is of course rather a guide to lead you to strategicaly important points; but since it already shows the lakes - wouldn't it help navigation a lot, if the rivers were also in there, in the same light blue?

if the rivers were also in there, in the same light blue? You read my mind (or my emails?), that's exactly what I had asked for! A map of the entire game's landscape of things which most probably did not change much during the course of the war like rivers, forests and probably roads, too +/- railtracks.

I would like to be able to choose the info displayed in the labels; in that case I would leave only the distance, and the color.
Also it would be nice to have the dots display in a more limited and realistic radius (say the 8km radius of the TAC)

I would support the idea of being able to un-assign the POV and assign it to other tasks.
That aside the only thing that I can think of that might not have already been mentioned, when I start a mission I set my mouse pointer in the centre of the screen before take off, this way when using TrackIR I look down at my dials I can automatically centre my mouse pointer on them which brings up the label for dial info (rpm/psi/temp etc). I wonder if this can be something that can be implemented for aircrafts and ground information for people who fly with labels turned off, if they look at it in my case or hover the mouse pointer over the aircraft or airfield whatever it will show the label.

+1. It's a bit frustrating to know that your POV hats are useless if you use TrackIR. I realize that those of us using CH Products sticks & throttles can use their utility to assign each POV hat axis as a button, but it would be much simpler if we could do it within the workshop.

1) When your observer spots an unidentified or enemy plane it would be most realistic if you got an on screen message like "Observer: enemy aircraft 5 o'clock high!" In life the observer would slap you on the shoulder and point to impart this rather urgent news. I know he will track enemy aircraft with his Mg but you have to look back, often from external view to see it. This is vital stuff which your observer would not keep to himself!!
Great idea..thought about this myself. Think i may have mentioned it aswell somewhere. Just needs to come up the same way as the instructor messages come up. You could even have "pull left\right" etc etc. Do it bold with exclamation marks if urgent!
